Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Kentucky
Contract amount
I am selling my home by owner. The agreed upon price is $79,000. The buyer wants me to write the contract for $84,000 and give him the difference to him after the closing. Is this legal?

Re: Contract amount
I am assuming that he would be borrowing the purchase amount and giving a mortgage on the property. If so, this would be fraud to the lender and it would not be legal for you to do this.
